A. T. Drac (1804-1883) - officer of the November Uprising, official of the Kingdom of Poland.
The company "Zaklad Artystyczny-Litograficzny i Drukarnia Józefa Nowaczyńskiego" was registered in April 1865. Earlier, in 1860, Nowaczynski entered into a partnership with Moszek Wagmajster, the owner of a printing house he purchased in 1855 from Helena Szczepanska. By 1864 Nowaczynski had already become its sole owner. "The plant" had its headquarters in a Pokapucinsky house at 176 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street, on the corner of Gubernatorska Street (today 4 Kosciuszko Street). The same house housed for some time a photographic establishment run by Nowaczynski's son, Aleksander. Nowaczynski's establishment was the first significant lithographic establishment in Lublin.
